Park - Wyre — Neighbourhood Policing Team

A priority identified by Park ward residents through Lancashire Talking is currently: Dog Fouling

Dog Fouling – Time to Take Action Dog fouling continues to be one of the most frequent concerns raised by residents, and it’s easy to see why. It’s unpleasant, unhygienic, and creates a poor environment for everyone using our parks, pavements, and public spaces. No one should have to navigate their way around dog mess in our communities. Wyre Borough Council is the authority responsible for dealing with dog fouling on public land, and they have a number of measures in place to manage and reduce the problem. This includes: • Investigating reports of dog fouling. • Issuing Fixed Penalty Notices to those who fail to clean up after their dog. • Patrolling problem areas to deter offending. • Putting up signage and providing waste bins. • Running education campaigns to promote responsible dog ownership. However, enforcement alone isn’t enough — public information is vital. If you witness someone not cleaning up after their dog, please report it. The more detail you can provide, the more effectively the Council can take action. Useful information includes: • Time, date, and exact location of the incident. • A description of the person and the dog. • Vehicle details, including registration, if relevant. Reports can be made directly to Wyre Borough Council using the link below: https://orlo.uk/mmE5 In some cases, enforcement may go as far as court proceedings, and having witnesses willing to support the process makes a real difference. By reporting incidents and encouraging responsible behaviour, we can help keep Wyre’s parks, pathways, and public spaces clean, safe, and pleasant for everyone.

ASB is a prioritiy you have also raised to us through Lancashire Talking.

ASB Antisocial behaviour is defined as 'behaviour by a person which causes, or is likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress to persons not of the same household as the person' (Antisocial Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. There are three main categories for antisocial behaviour, depending on how many people are affected: Personal antisocial behaviour is when a person targets a specific individual or group. Nuisance antisocial behaviour is when a person causes trouble, annoyance or suffering to a community. Environmental antisocial behaviour is when a person’s actions affect the wider environment, such as public spaces or buildings. Op Centurion is Lancashire Police’s answer to dealing with ASB, which sees dedicated patrols in identified areas across Wyre. Specialist antisocial behaviour (ASB) cars are regularly tasked in the Wyre area, including Park Ward. Identified hotspots or repeat areas are also discussed with partners at youth, adult and place based ASB meetings. Wyre NHPT have also made great use of civil orders of late to deal with ASB. Across the Wyre area, this has included Community Protection Warnings, Community Protection Notices, Civil Injunctions, Criminal Behaviour Orders and even Closure Orders at properties causing and linked to ASB and Crime. Wyre has also seen a steady decline in ASB reported incidents.

The top priority raised to us by Park Ward residents via Lancashire Talking is Drug Dealing.

Drugs Wyre NHPT are proactive in their targeting of drug related activity. We tackle all drug related activity head on in Wyre and deal robustly with those involved. Since the start of 2023 we have seized: * £7.4 million pounds worth of drugs * taken over £375,000 in cash off Organised Crime Groups * made over 250 arrests of high risk offenders and people linked to drug supply who have received over 121 years worth of prison sentences. We have civil orders at our disposal and this has also led to a number of properties in the Wyre area that have been at the centre of ASB, crime and drug related activity becoming subject to closure orders. We will continue to tackle drugs use at all levels and work with local and national partners to provide support, guidance and education around drug use.
